The FA Cup quarter-finals could cause fixture chaos for two teams. The FA Cup quarter-final draw is poised to create a fixture congestion headache for both Southampton and Port Vale - with the two non-Premier League clubs requiring alternative dates for postponed matches. Top-flight clubs are well-versed in rearranging matches for FA Cup commitments.

For Port Vale, there is just one available midweek between the FA Cup quarter-final period and the final day of the campaign on May 2.
